Next, a method for processing information in the drawings according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a template is used to process drawings having various formats. In addition, template identification information is generated in order to distinguish the template suitable for the drawing from other templates. A method of generating template identification information according to an embodiment of the present invention will now be described. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of generating template identification information according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. 3 and 4 are views for explaining a method of generating template identification information according to an embodiment of the present invention.

2, when the controller 150 of the user apparatus 100 receives the first drawing from another user apparatus 100 through the communication unit 110, the control unit 150 generates a template from the first drawing received in step S110 . Herein, the other user device 100 may be the user device 100 used in the client for the first drawing. As shown in Fig. 3, the template includes a shape template ST and a format template FT. The shape template ST represents the shape and position of the field included in the first drawing. The format template (FT) defines the text format of the fields included in the drawing.

In step S120, the controller 150 generates the identification windows w1 and w2 using the random function and places the identification windows w1 and w2 on the shape template ST. Here, the identification windows w1 and w2 are windows of a virtual rectangle having a random size area generated by a random function, and the positions thereof are determined such that the upper left corner of the rectangular window is located at the position on the shape template ST it means. The random function is a function for randomly generating a value in pixel units. More specifically, the control unit 150 generates identification windows w1 and w2 having a random size through a random function and generates at least one identification window w1 and w2 at a random position on the shape template ST through a random function ). Here, the sizes of the identification windows w1 and w2 are represented by the horizontal and vertical lengths of the pixels. For example, the sizes of the identification windows w1 and w2 can be expressed as (xd1 x yd1) and (xd2 x yd2). Further, the positions of the identification windows w1 and w2 are indicated by pixel coordinates. For example, the positions of the identification windows w1 and w2 are (xs1, ys1), (xs2, ys2) when the reference pixel coordinates (x0, y0) = (0, 0) ys2). Accordingly, the controller 150 may randomly generate pixel coordinates and pixel length values such as xs1, ys1, xd1, and yd1 to generate a first identification window w1 and place it on the shape template ST . Similarly, the control unit 150 can randomly generate pixel coordinate values and pixel length values such as xs2, ys2, xd2, and yd2 to generate a second identification window w2 and place it on the shape template ST have.

Next, the control unit 150 sets the positions and sizes of the detection templates ST_w1 and ST_w2, which are shape templates of the overlapped area, and the arranged identification windows w1 and w2, in the identification windows w1 and w2 arranged at step S130 And generates it as identification information of the corresponding template. In step S140, the controller 150 maps the template identification information to the template, and stores the template in the storage unit 140. FIG.

On the other hand, the controller 150 detects the number of CPUs and GPU cores that can be allocated in the controller 150, and generates identification information using only one identification window when a plurality of cores can not be allocated. For example, the control unit 150 may generate the template identification information using only the first identification window w1. That is, the control unit 150 arranges the first identification window w1 on the shape template ST and sets the first identification window w1 and the first detection template w1, ST_w1), the position (xs1, ys1) and the size (xd1 x xd2) of the arranged identification window w1 can be detected as identification information.

On the other hand, when a plurality of cores can be allocated, the controller 150 generates identification information using a plurality of identification windows. For example, when the controller 150 can allocate two cores, the controller 150 may generate the identification information of the template using the first identification window w1 and the second identification window w2. That is, the control unit 150 arranges the first and second identification windows w1 and w2 on the shape template ST, and arranges the first and second identification windows w1 and w2, The positions (xs1, ys1), (xs2, ys2), and the sizes (xd1 x yd1) of the first and second detection templates ST_w1, ST_w2 and the first and second identification windows w1, (xd2 x yd2) can be detected as identification information.

According to a further embodiment, when a plurality of cores can be allocated, the control unit 150 divides the shape template ST according to the number of cores, and detects the identification information in each of the divided shape templates ST can do. For example, when eight cores can be allocated, the control unit 150 sets the shape template ST to 4 (zero), 4 (b), 4 And two pieces of the core are allocated to each of the divided parts, thereby generating the identification information of the template. Furthermore, in this case, since a plurality of cores (two cores in this embodiment) can be assigned to each divided part, the control unit 150 determines whether or not each of (A), (B) Identification information can be generated using a plurality of identification windows (two identification windows in this embodiment).

Next, a description will be made of a method of processing the information in the drawing with the template identification information being generated and stored as described above. 5 is a flow chart illustrating a method for processing information in the diagram according to an embodiment of the present invention. 6 is a diagram for explaining a method for processing information in the drawings according to an embodiment of the present invention.

5, the controller 150 of the user apparatus 100 may receive the second drawing from another user apparatus 100 through the communication unit 110 in step S210. Here, the second drawing is different from the first drawing, but it may be a drawing to which the template generated in the embodiment described above with reference to FIG. 2 is applied. Here, the other user apparatus 100 may be the user apparatus 100 used in the ordering party for the corresponding drawing.

In step S220, the controller 150 detects a template mapped to the received second drawing among the plurality of templates stored in the storage unit 140 using the identification information. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the control unit 150 sets the pixel coordinates at the upper left corner of the second drawing to the reference pixel coordinates (x0, y0) = (0, 0) The identification windows w1 and w2 are arranged in accordance with the positions (xs1, ys1), (xs2 and ys2) and the sizes (xd1 x yd1) and (xd2 x yd2) of the identification windows w1 and w2, And the shapes and positions of the fields included in the overlapping areas and the shapes and positions of the fields included in the detection templates ST_w1 and ST_w2 are compared with each other, A template mapped to the corresponding identification information is detected.

In step S220, the controller 150 detects the number of cores of the CPU and the GPU that can be allocated in the controller 150. If the plurality of cores can not be allocated, the controller 150 uses the identification information using only one identification window And detects a template mapped to the received second drawing. For example, the control unit 150 arranges the first identification window w1 in the second drawing according to the position (xs1, ys1) and the size (xd1 x yd1) of the first identification window w1, The identification window w1 and the shape and position of the field included in the overlapping area of the second figure are compared with the shape and position of the field included in the first detection template ST_w1, A template to be mapped can be detected. On the other hand, when a plurality of cores can be allocated, the control unit 150 detects a template mapped to the received second drawing using identification information using a plurality of identification windows. For example, the control unit 150 controls the first and second identification windows w1 and w2 according to the positions (xs1 and ys1) (xs2 and ys2) and sizes (xd1 x yd1) and (xd2 x yd2) And the second identification window w1 and w2 are arranged in the figure and the first and second identification windows w1 and w2 and the shape and position of the field included in the overlapping area of the second figure and the first and second identification windows w1 and w2, The shapes and positions of the fields included in the second detection templates ST_w1 and ST_w2 are compared with each other, and if they match, the template mapped to the corresponding identification information can be detected.

According to a further embodiment of the step S220, the shape template ST is divided according to the number of cores according to the additional embodiment described in Fig. 4, the identification information is detected in each of the divided shape templates ST, When a plurality of cores can be allocated, the template can be divided in the same manner as the divided shape templates, and the template mapped to the identification information can be detected. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, when eight cores can be allocated, the template is divided into four parts (A), (B), (C), and (D) can do. The identification window arrangement and determination are the same as those described above.

Next, the controller 150 extracts the information of the second drawing according to the template detected in step S230, and forms a database. That is, the control unit 150 recognizes the shape and position of the field included in the second drawing through the shape template ST of the template, recognizes the text format of the field included in the second drawing through the formatting template FT And extracts the text of each field. In step S230, if the second drawing is an image file, the controller 150 may extract an image by performing an optical character reader (OCR) on the second drawing. Then, the controller 150 inputs each field recognized in the format template FT into the field of the corresponding database.

When steps S210 to S230 described above are performed for a plurality of the second drawings, the specification can be generated using the corresponding fields of the database. For example, this specification may represent bill of materials (BOM) representatively.

As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, various kinds of design drawings can be classified through templates, the information recorded in the design drawings can be easily detected and can be converted into a database, You can generate a formatted statement.
